Kale and Potato Mash with Romesco Sauce Recipe
- 2 large russet potatoes (just under 1 pound), peeled
- 8 ounces yellow-fleshed potatoes, such as German Butterball or Yukon Gold, scrubbed but not peeled
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- 1 large bunch kale, any variety, large stems removed, leaves coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 recipe Romesco Sauce, for garnishing
- 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, for garnishing
- Cut both types of potatoes into 1-1/2-inch chunks.
- Add them to a saucepan with cold water to cover by 3 inches.
- Add the measured salt and garlic clove.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then adjust the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are very tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 5 minutes.
- Add the kale to the potatoes and continue cooking until the kale is tender and the potatoes are soft enough to mash, about 2 minutes.
- Ladle out a 1/2 cup of the cooking water and set it aside.
- Drain the potatoes and kale in a colander and transfer to a large bowl.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved cooking water and the olive oil and mash to a chunky texture.
- If the mash seems too dry, add more cooking waterthe texture should be moist but not watery.
- Season with black pepper and taste, adding more salt as needed.
- Divide the mash evenly onto warmed plates and spoon about 2 tablespoons of romesco sauce over each serving.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
